In industries where heavy-duty equipment and materials are frequently moved and stored, safety is paramount. A major concern for many manufacturers, especially those working with plastic pallets, is the risk of slipping materials. Traditional plastic surfaces can be slick, making it difficult to maintain secure storage. Fortunately, Aurand® has a proven solution: surface prep tools that create a slip-resistant, rugged finish on plastic pallets, adding essential grip to prevent accidental slips and shifting of materials.

Why Use Aurand® Surface Prep Tools?

Aurand® is a trusted name in surface preparation, with tools specifically designed for efficient and effective scale and rust removal. These tools, commonly used in marine and oil industries, have now become valuable for creating texture and grip on various surfaces, including plastic pallets. Whether it’s securing products during transport or improving handling in storage, Aurand® tools can help.

How Aurand® Scarifiers Make Pallets Slip-Resistant

Plastic pallets are frequently used in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution because they are lightweight, durable, and resistant to chemicals. However, their smooth surfaces can lack traction, leading to an increased risk of accidents or product shifts during movement. Here’s how Aurand® scarifiers make a difference:

  1. Surface Roughening: Aurand® scarifiers are adept at texturing surfaces, effectively roughing up the plastic on pallets without damaging them. By adding tiny grooves or abrasions, these tools create a secure grip that holds materials in place.
  2. Increased Safety: A slip-resistant pallet surface helps to prevent sliding and shifting, protecting valuable goods during transport or storage. This additional grip reduces the risk of accidents, making the workplace safer for employees handling heavy or delicate materials.
  3. Enhanced Durability: By using Aurand® surface prep tools, you’re not only improving the grip but also reinforcing the plastic pallet. The added texture strengthens the pallet surface, allowing it to withstand everyday wear and tear in high-traffic environments.

Applications for Plastic Pallet Manufacturers

For plastic pallet manufacturers, integrating Aurand® scarifiers into the production process can be a valuable enhancement. With the demand for slip-resistant surfaces growing, textured pallets offer a competitive edge, especially in industries like logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing. Pallet manufacturers can pre-texture their pallets to add value and attract clients seeking safer, more reliable storage solutions.
